The point about it acting as a sort of historical repository is interesting and reminds me a bit of writing laws. Years later, when updating/amending laws sometimes you really want to know why in the world someone wrote something the way they did. Like, "Who tied this to this other thing in a different agency?" or "Why is this set to expire in 3 years if there's no budget constraints?" Basically, context is really nice to have when looking back on work performed.
